Description du concert
“Super Connected is like a warning from the future... remarkably poignant, funny, ominous and heartrending” - R n R ★★★★
Is it time to break up with our phones?
Based on the critically acclaimed album by indie rock polymath Tim Arnold, ‘Super Connected’ is a Black Mirror-esque show fusing film, live music, theatre and the ticking time bomb of social media & big tech.
As the film rolls, Arnold performs on stage & screen accompanied by pianist Sarah Kershaw (The Irrepressibles) & ballerina Daniela Maccari (The Lindsay Kemp Co). With the scale of Radiohead & panache of Bowie Super Connected LIVE is a digital age take on the silent movie. With narration by Stephen Fry.
Full of wit, wisdom & terror, the show explores a family’s struggle with technology addiction.
Being pulled in & out of the screen by the attention-grabbing characters, Arnold grapples with what connection & intimacy mean in a digitally distracted world
Lock your phones in our pouches, pocket them, & break free from the digital grind before the show! Join us after for a Screenless Social to chat with each other & the creative team.
“A lush, dynamic and dramatic piece about the enslavement and surveillance of our phone and computer screens” - Mojo ★★★★
“No musician gets surveillance capitalism and data colonialism like Tim Arnold” - Nick Couldry, Professor at The London School of Economics

He is founder of Save Soho with Stephen Fry and has worked extensively with Amnesty’s LGBTQIA arm through his music. SUPER CONNECTED explores the clash between humanity and technology in context of our collective mental health.
Mixed-race and autistic, Arnold was raised by his mother and her same-sex partner amidst a vibrant working-class theatrical community. When Iggy Pop told NME that Arnold’s work reminded him of David Bowie, Arnold’s career was given a new lease of life, winning BBC London Album of The Year for his album ‘The Soho Hobo’.
